Hey all, I thought I’d show you my blue colourwork allover cardigan. This was my primary knitting project for the winter, a long lost time where it seemed perfectly normal to want night sky echoing colourwork cardigans. A time when going out for groceries wasn’t a whole expedition, when going out for a bike ride …
Hey Makers, I hope this last month of the year is treating you well. I’m enjoying these frosty days and witnessing the change of autumn to winter. Autumn held on long this year, and while most trees have now lost their leaves they held on exceptionally long (it even made the news here!). While most …
It’s been a while since a lopapeysa featured on the blog, hasn’t it? I actually made this particular Icelandic sweater last year, before I moved. You’ll have seen some glimpses of it on instagram, mainly of my cats’ brave attempts to steal it for naps -their love for lopi is still unchallenged by any other …
Hey friends, in my ongoing mission to catch up with my summer (and now also autumn) makes on all my platforms, I thought I’d show you one of the sweaters I finished over the summer. The photos were taken on a dreary, rainy autumn day and, as you might be able to tell, but I’m …
I don’t think any summer has affected my knitting as much as the last one. We broke through a couple of heat records and it was the driest summer of my life time. It went on for months. It reflected in my crafting; knitting went slow and at times I didn’t knit at all. Documenting …
I don’t often knit the same pattern twice. Certainly when it concerns garments, it is a rarity. I have often professed “I´d like to knit this again at some point”, or “This pattern would be so cool in a totally different colour palette”, but you know how it goes: The world of knitting is a …
In the month that Kate Davies’ new yarn and pattern club has started, I thought it might be a good idea to show you a finished project of her previous yarn club that ran a couple of years back. The Kokkeluri mittens were part of the Buachaille: At Home in the Highlands pattern collection that …
Well hello there! I thought to try to squeeze one more FO-post out of the last week of 2017. I can’t tell you how weird it feels to already be looking back at 2017, but since I might actually write a 2017 review post, I’m going to leave most of the looking back for that …
Thought I’d finally come around and blog about that sweater that I’ve been talking about for months now. What an epic project Windermere turned out to be! It took a long time to knit, mostly because I knitted it during one of the most intense years of my life, made mods, and took pauses to …
Surpise! I finished a sweater and didn’t even tell you I was working on it! I did another test knit for Jennifer Steingass of Knit.Love.Wool. Earlier this year I test knitted Telja for her, which was published in By Hand Magazine. Somewhere in July Jenn contacted me to see whether I was interested in testing …
